I'm still trying to get caught up with everything not airsoft at the moment. Then I will sift through the hours of footage and piece something together.

On the Lion Claws forum, both sides seem to think they have won. I wonder if we will ever get a verdict? Ultimately I had fun, but I still want to know.

I'm having the same issue with the footage. I have hours of footage and only minutes of free time between nonairsoft related stuff. I will get it cut and uploaded as soon as possible.

I'm guessing you're asking about Zander's video?
During the briefing for the "night" mission, the green team was told that there would be no tanks allowed on the field. The green team then took the field with no AT weapons or vehicles.
The tan team took the field with the Hardlock and promptly steamrolled through to their objective, the air field.
Having been told by a ref that they could hand-throw AT munitions at the tank and kill it, Zander hit the Hardlock with a rocket.
The tank drive then refused to take the hit. Granted, the "official" rules for the event require the AT projectile to be fired from a designated launcher. The "rules" for this event, however, changed all the time. Green didn't make up the whole "hand throw" thing, Green approached the refs and asked if this was ok. The refs said it was. That's sort of the same type of rule change like when Green was told the tank wouldn't be deploying, but then did. Oops, rule change.
Honestly, it was a pretty shitty moment. I understand that you've built yourself a tank and want to use it, but it takes a distinct and almost willfully ignorance of the basic idea of fair play to ignore the fact that the other team has no way to kill you and just go about your business. During the day when the green team had their tank/vehicles, the Hardlock's antics were perfectly fine. The green team could give as good as it got with the "Hobo Tank" and the ATVs. During the night game when the green team was specifically told that no tanks would be fielded, the Hardlock's antics were just poor sportsmanship. The Hardlock's driver did eventually take the tank out of play and for this he should be commended.
The driver of the Hardlock seemed a bit upset that his expensive toy was being run circles around by the green tank, which was basically a four-wheeler with some cardboard attached to it. That and the fact that green's AT assets (good work, Tank) were basically killing him at every opportunity probably didn't help.

To be fair our hill billy technical was completely ignoring the 10 mph speed limit. The hardlock was moving at about 10 mph the whole weekend. Whether that was its max speed or if he was actually following the rules, I don't know.

There were some moments when the hardlock did go over 10mph during "evasive" maneuvers, but for the most part (95% of the time) they were under. All other vehicles for both sides ditched that rule about 2 hrs in to Senario 1 hah.
